Khonz.com is not a META search Engine!!!

Khonz.com is one of the leading search engine of Bangladesh. According to Khonz Meta tags no longer boost a site’s rankings in search engine queries.

Meta elements are HTML or XHTML elements used to provide structured metadata about a Web page. Such elements must be placed as tags in the head section of an HTML or XHTML document. Meta elements can be used to specify page description, keywords and any other metadata not provided through the other head elements and attributes.

The keywords attribute

The keywords attribute was popularized by search engines such as Infoseek and AltaVista in 1995, and its popularity quickly grew until it became one of the most commonly used meta elements[1]. By late 1997, but, search engine providers realized that information stored in meta elements, especially the keywords attribute, was often unreliable and misleading, and at worst, used to draw users into spam sites.

Search engines started dropping support for metadata provided by the meta element in 1998, and by the early 2000s, most search engines had veered completely away from reliance on meta elements. In July 2002, AltaVista, one of the last major search engines to still offer support, finally stopped considering them.

No consensus exists whether or not the keywords attribute has any effect on ranking at any of the major search engines today. It is speculated that it does, if the keywords used in the meta can also be found in the page copy itself. With respect to Google, thirty-seven leaders in search engine optimization concluded in April 2007 that the relevance of having your keywords in the meta-attribute keywords is small to none and in September 2009 Matt Cutts of Google announced that they are no longer taking keywords into account whatsoever.  But, both these articles suggest that Yahoo! still makes use of the keywords meta tag in some of its rankings. Yahoo! itself claims support for the keywords meta tag in conjunction with other factors for improving search rankings.

The description attribute

Unlike the keywords attribute, the description attribute is supported by most major search engines, like Yahoo and Bing, while Google will fall back on this tag when information about the page itself is requested (e.g. using the related: query). The description attribute provides a concise explanation of a Web page’s content. This allows the Web page authors to give a more meaningful description for listings than might be showed if the search engine was unable to automatically make its own description based on the page content. The description is often, but not always, showed on search engine results pages, so it can impact click-through rates. Industry commentators have suggested that major search engines also consider keywords located in the description attribute when ranking pages. W3C doesn’t specify the size of this description meta tag, but nearly all search engines recommend it to be shorter than 200 characters of plain text

Meta tags are part of a website’s codes, which give extra information about the site to search engines. Meta tags are comprised of keywords that summarize what the site is about. This information is delivered to the search engine, which in turn will possess an thought about the main topics of the site.

Traditionally, search engine use Meta tags to choose if a particular site is relevant to a particular search. Theoretically, that makes these tags vital for search engine algorithms. But, Khonz emphasized that these Meta tags have no relevance to search engine optimization (SEO).

Research on recent trend, Khonz stopped making Meta tags an SEO factor upon learning that some websites started misusing them (i.e. when sites use Meta tags that are not relevant just to strengthen its search engine campaign).
